Plant diversity sustains all animal life, and the genetic diversity within plants underpins
global food security. This text provides a practical and theoretical introduction to the …

Genebanks around the world hold collections of the genetic resources of crop plants for long-
term conservation and for ease of access by plant breeders, researchers and other users …

A genetic model with genotype× environment (GE) interactions for controlling systematical
errors in the field can be used for predicting genotypic values by an adjusted unbiased …

Hierarchical and nonhierarchical clustering methods are used for classifying genetic
resources. In hierarchical clustering methods, all variables (categorical and continuous) can …

When forming core subsets, accessions from a collection are classified into clusters, and
then samples are drawn from the clusters with the aim of maintaining the diversity of the …

The narrow genetic base of US rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars poses a challenge for long‐
term improvements of yield and other agronomic traits. Molecular marker analysis can be …

Core subsets can be formed on the basis of molecular markers and different sampling
strategies. This research used genetic markers on three maize data sets for studying 24 …
